In the irreverent spirit of fun that made The LEGO Movie a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble—LEGO Batman—stars in his own big screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

The LEGO Batman Movie is the right cure for the fatigue of seeing a somber and overly serious Batman. This one got the right dose of brooding, deadpanned wit, jerkass-with-a-heart-of-gold attitude, and moves. It’s a refreshing take on the Dark Knight that also paid homage to previous renditions. Yes, it got a predictable three-act structure that relies on endless barrage of jokes to keep your attention. But considering it made such excellent use of pop culture cues, well, no oversight is too big to forgive. Rating: ★★★★

While it’s not as compelling and thought-provoking as The LEGO Movie, Batman’s adventure in The LEGO Batman Movie is still a feel-good movie that shares similar vibes. The Batman ventures to some areas no Batman movie has ever been. Breaking the conventional dark, grim style to a more vibrant zone, it’s an exhilarating bat-ride from opening credit to end-credit, giving an incarnation of Batman we “must have” right now. Rating: ★★★★

The LEGO Batman Movie was beyoooooond my expectation! Filled with tons of pop culture-referenced jokes and mockings, The LEGO Batman Movie was so much fun with issues even any Batman movies never touched before. Solidly. Rating: ★★★★

The LEGO Batman Movie contains many easter eggs and trivial things which I doubt, not many regular audience really get the jokes. Rating: ★★★

The LEGO Batman Movie has an impressive action sequence with its family-friendly theme. More entertaining it’ll be when you can hookup with the references. Rating: ★★★

Fun, funky, badass, and silly. The movie mines its best comedic material from Batman’s relationships with other well-known DC characters, riffing on our pre-existing knowledge of them. And yeah the director does a tremendous job with both the action and the characterizations. Well done! Rating: ★★★★
